  1. why the US is so low on Switzerland Tops IPv6 Adoption Charts; US Lags At 4th · · Score: 1

    The reason we have a low IPv6 adoption rate is because ISPs such as AT&T just don't try to upgrade. Their users want IPv6 support, but the ISPs won't deliver.

  2. what's wrong with the command line on Google Code Deprecates Download Service For Project Hosting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    just use
    svn checkout enter-url-here
    It's how I download everything from google code, and for github I use git. or is the command line "too ancient" to use anymore?

  3. good idea unless on Of 1000 Americans Polled, Most Would Ban Home Printing of Guns · · Score: 1

    a ban will surely work if the criminal would obey that law. oh wait...

  4. Re:Silverlight greatness on Netflix Wants To Go HTML5, But Not Without DRM · · Score: 1

    It's only worth $8 a month without the DRM. With the DRM, it isn't worth paying for.

  5. A disservice? on Helena Airport Manager Blocks TSA From Taking Full-Body Scanner · · Score: 1

    The nude body scanners cause a public outcry because of privacy and safety reasons. Getting rid of them is going to make the public happy. Does the manager even pay attention to the public?

  6. Re:They say that now... on Official: Playstation 4 Will Play Used Games · · Score: 1

    why don't you just use a different distro?, Ubuntu isn't the only one ya know.

  7. Idiots on Github Kills Search After Hundreds of Private Keys Exposed · · Score: 1

    Those users are idiots. GitHub shouldn't shutdown the search funtion over this. It's their users' own fault for storing private keys in a public repo.

  8. Re:videogames are like #3 or lower on that list on School Shooting Prompts Legislation To Study Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    a lot lower and less severe than this shooting

  9. Re:videogames are like #3 or lower on that list on School Shooting Prompts Legislation To Study Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    If every teacher in that school had an assult rifle, they could have protected the children and a lot less people would've have died. Kinda hard to shoot up a school when each teacher has more firepower than the shooter.

  11. none actually on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    there aren't any games that makes me stick with windows, pretty much all the games I play either for Linux, console games that run I in an emulator, or Windows programs that I run in Wine. though I probably won't be using the Linux version of steam, they only target Ubuntu based systems and won't let anyone package it for any systems, so getting it to run on anything but Ubuntu is a pain in the ass, plus all the DRM they put in it makes me not want it

  12. several alternatives... on Ask Slashdot: Is Samba4 a Viable Alternative To Active Directory? · · Score: 1

    OpenLDAP, OpenDJ, FreeIPA. does anyone bother to use google anymore.

  13. If people are too stupid... on Yahoo Will Ignore IE 10's "Do Not Track" · · Score: 1

    ...to figure out how to change to a better browser, they're probably too stupid to notice they're being tracked

  14. DRM seems to encourage piracy on Feds Continue To Consider Linux Users Criminals For Watching DVDs · · Score: 1

    right now I'm in college so I don't have a job so I live with my grandparents in the meantime, they do have a Netflix subscription, but I still download the exact same movies and shows on Netflix from TPB (even with a Netflix subscription) because they're more reliable when the movie is stored locally and the movies from TPB don't have DRM. so it seems DRM is causing piracy to increase because it's just giving an even bigger reason to do so.

  15. based on M$'s revenue, I would charge them at least 20 to 30 billion.

  16. Next up.. on 3-D Printing Enables UVA Student-Built Unmanned Plane · · Score: 1

    copyright trolls from commercial airports demand that DRM be placed on 3D printers to prevent people from making these, claiming lost profits

  17. Re:It's definitely getting slower though on Ubuntu Isn't Becoming Less Open, Says Shuttleworth · · Score: 0

    my bad, I should've used the guest iso and not the one in the official repos, Unity's still large though

  18. It's definitely getting slower though on Ubuntu Isn't Becoming Less Open, Says Shuttleworth · · Score: 1

    Unity is now too slow to run inside VirtualBox, even with Hardware Acceleration and the Guest Additions

  19. very unlikely on Physicists Devise Test For Whether the Universe Is a Simulation · · Score: 0

    we can't just be pure software because simulated life isn't alive. The closest I can think of a universe being a simulation is if we were just plugged into it like that movie the matrix or having electrical impulses fed to the brain. plus if it is a simulation, can you imagine the amount of work required to code it, or if they even have the RAM and disk space to hold all of that code and a processor to keep up with the sim.

  20. Re:Tired of the IE hate... on Microsoft Issues Workaround For IE 0-Day · · Score: 1
